Trapiche's Pinot Grigio showcases a delightful, fresh expression of this classic European grape adapted to the unique, high-altitude terroirs of Mendoza, Argentina. While Argentina is world-famous for Malbec, pioneering producers like Trapiche have long experimented with white varieties, utilizing the cool mountain breezes and intense Andean sunshine to craft whites with remarkable aromatic intensity and crisp acidity. Fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its vibrant fruit character, this wine avoids oak contact, allowing the pure, clean expressions of citrus, white peach, and delicate floral notes to shine. It represents Trapiche's commitment to versatility and modern viticulture, offering an approachable, refreshing style that bridges Old World grape heritage with New World energy.

Founded in 1883 by Tiburcio Benegas, Trapiche is one of Argentina's oldest and most pioneering wineries, located in the Maipú department of Mendoza. Operating from a historic, beautifully restored Florentine-style winery built in 1912, the estate is celebrated for introducing French grape varieties and modern viticultural techniques to the region. Under the guidance of renowned winemakers, Trapiche focuses on expressing the diverse terroirs of Mendoza—ranging from high-altitude Andean vineyards to their pioneering coastal estate in Chapadmalal, Buenos Aires. The winery is globally acclaimed for its exceptional Malbecs, particularly its Single Vineyard series, as well as elegant expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir.
